Rebecca from Massachusetts, USA

Hii,
My name is Rebecca and I live in MA, USA. I I was diagnosed with GT when I was a child. I am currently 14 years old. When I was young up until I was 9 years old I was in the hospital almost every 6 months for a blood transfusion. Then in April of 2004 I started to volunteer on farms. I fell in love with some goats that lived down the street from my house. I would go over and help feed them and milk them every night. Before I knew it I had my own goat. I compete in goat shows and do quite well. I attended 2005 Nationals for a goat registry at the big E fair grounds in western Mass. I came home with the herdsmanship award.

I also attended the 2007 national show in Harrisonburg, Virginia and came home with the youth intermediate reserve champion's trophy. Even though I live with GT I needed to find a hobby, something to have fun with and keep my will to live high.
